Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs.10,000.

Given that

Spends on house rent  = 25% = 1/4

Remaing amount = 3/4

Spends on food = 30% on reamaing amount = 30% * (3/4)

Now,  saving amount after spending = 70% * 3/4 = 21/40

Saving amount given is = 5250

21/40 of monthly income = 5250

Monthly income = 5250 * 40/21 = 10,000
